Lindsay Lohan's Machete Costar: 'She Needs a Break'

Hard time might be just what the doctor ordered for Lindsay Lohan, says 'Machete' costar Danny Trejo.

"I honestly believe that she might need the break," the 66-year-old actor told PEOPLE. "She might just need a break to get grounded and just chill out for about 30 days and see where her life is. I think once she gets her mind cleared and ... if there are people around her that aren't saying, 'Hey, stop!' then she needs to get rid of them."

Trejo, a frequent go-to star for cousin Robert Rodriguez, stars in 'Machete,' due in September. He's also been down the jail route before, PEOPLE says. "[Lindsay] knows who to call when she needs help, and she knows who to call for the people around her that are staying clean. She got caught up, and now it's time to get uncaught."

The Associated Press reported earlier this week that Lohan's cell at the women's correctional facility in Lynwood, California, is 12-by-8 feet, and she will be separated from the other 1,800 prisoners. LiLo joins a list of famous females who've been housed in the same jail, including Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Khloe Kardashian and 'Lost' alum (and another 'Machete' costar) Michelle Rodriguez.
